Winter Preparation = Kimchi Galore (apparently)

Believe it or not, I haven't taken a single photograph in Korea yet. I want to show everyone how geographically beautiful and breathtaking the country actually is. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to carry my camera and take pictures of EVERYTHING so ya'll can have a visual.

I went to Incheon last night to my grandma's place. I went with my aunt and little cousin because we had to help our halmonee out with "kimchi preparation for the winter season". Apparently, a lot of Koreans get into kimchi making mode around this time because... well, winter is fast-approaching and who the hell wants to make kimchi when it's bloody cold outside (during winter, Korea gets REALLY cold, btw... although with each passing winter, it's been getting warmer due to global heating). It was odd for me to digest at first but just think of it in a pragmatical sense-- a bear collecting its food ahead of time so that it can eat it while it hibernates in its cave. Lol. I wish I took some pictures of kimchi in its nascent stages. You see, it was quite the sight! It was like... something you might see happening at a kimchi factory if such a thing even exists. Kimchi KIMCHI Kiiiimchiiiiii sprawled allllll over the place!! The making of it all (from start to finish) is done so meticulously that it should be considered as a form of art. You know what else? Kimchi tastes so damn good.

On another note, the family ordered in Korean today. Our meal consisted of absolute gourmet-- jja-jjang-myun and jjam-pong... topping that off with fried mandoo and battered chicken. Hehehe. LOVE IT. <3 Where else can you get such luxury delivered to your own home for approximately $4 a dish? :) Honestly, screw pho. Haaargh.
